On his blog, Gee says, "But before you all go jumping to the obvious conclusion, Koalataur does not actually have any relation to a Koala. He was born a Liontaur (AKA a wemic, urmahlullu, lion-man) but due to the strange coloration of his fur was labeled an outcast at an early age and banished from his tribe." So you see that "Koalataur" is a liontaur too.

I just wish I had 850 bucks to spend on one of the only ten liontaurs being offered for sale!

Update [18 Aug 09] I wrote to the artist and asked about his inspiration. He wrote back:

What inspired me? I was a D&D player in my youth and still an occasional Forgotten Realms reader ... always loved the mythology of Wemics. I suppose I could've named my little creations Wemics but I have a feeling that particular name may be the intellectual property of whomever currently owns the rights to D&D. That's fine, Liontaur is just as appealing a name.

I may have one more set of these up my sleeve ... the pride needs a female companion. But I have a few other projects on my plate to knock out first.

About Cayzle's Wemic Site -- and Welcome!

Wemics are really neat creatures that are half Human and half Lion -- sometimes they are called Liontaurs. On my site you can find tons of information on Wemics in general, detailed original rules on Wemics in role play games, with example characters, annotated links to just about every page on the Web with significant Wemic content -- and links to most of the insignificant content, too! I also write a weekly blog (above). I focus mostly on core rules Dungeons and Dragons, but there is info for other games and other topics as well. There's a lot to digest, so feel free to stay and browse a while. Use the links at the top of each page in the nav bar to find your way around.
